Chapter 1157

Renee trusted promises, and quickly freed Stefan, seemingly unafraid of his retaliation.

It was just like she put it—she had restrained him once, and that meant she could do it again.

“There’s nothing womanly about you at all!” Stefan sighed emotionally, flexing his wrists that had almost been dislocated. He was actually skilled in martial arts, even winning the school championship for four years running- only to end up completely restrained by a woman.

If word of that ever got out, he would die of embarrassment.

Renee said nothing, however, and suddenly leaned closer to him.

“What are you doing?” Stefan tensed up, sliding backwards and pressing himself against the car door. He tried to get out, only to realize that he had locked it himself.

What had he done to deserve this?!

“I’m warning you, don’t do anything stupid. We can talk about this…” He stared at Renee warily as if she were a beast -he did not want to be tied up again!

Renee rolled her eyes, speechless. How much of a coward could he be? Was she even that scary?

“Call your people now!” She snapped coolly, shoving his phone in his hands.

Stefan breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly searched for Elijah’s number, once again the indomitable CEO as he called Elijah and told him, “Release Quinton Everheart. The matter has been resolved.”

“What?! Just like that?!” On the other end, Elijah was dumbfounded by Stefan’s orders. “But he was out to get us at every turn, Mr. Hunt! The losses from our core plant being destroyed is still inestimable, and we’re waiting for you to come here and personally end him! But…

you’re telling us to let him go instead?”

“I know what I said, or are you questioning my orders?!”

“That’s not what I meant, sir-but he’s a clear threat against H group. We’d have trouble explaining ourselves to our board of directors…”

“I’ll deal with them myself.”

“Huh…” Elijah was reluctant, but there was no way he would disobey his boss’s orders.

“Alright, I’ll have him released.”

Stefan hung up, and turned towards Renee, demanding coolly, “Are you satisfied now?”

“Absolutely.” Renee nodded repeatedly with a fawning smile, actually surprised that Stefan was that cooperative.

In contrast, she was quite villainous.

“You may be satisfied, but I’m not!” Stefan suddenly snapped, his expression inscrutable as ever.

“I know my brother broke the rules, but I will apologize in his place and compensate for any losses.”

“No!” Stefan shook his head. “Compensation is far from enough.”

Renee raised a brow. “Then what do you want?”
